Dear group: 

I have a question about the structure of the source code from a cygport
package.

Here is the contents of a Cygports source file:

 - the actual source bundle for the project (tar.gz, tar.bz2, etc.)
 - the any number of *.patch files.
 - a .cygport file

I am trying to build gedit-3.4.2 from cygports repository. 

How does the .cygport file help me run the proper options in the ./configure
? 

For instance, in gedit if i don't specify --disable-spell it won't proceed
due to error. How do I get the list of ./configure options that were used to
build the project when the cygport was built? 

Or even better, is there some way we can use the cygport executable to build
the cygport with a custom --prefix?

CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 w7testpc-PC 1.7.15(0.260/5/3) 2012-05-09 10:25 i686
